The major scale is quite possibly THE most important piece of musical information in all of western music. It may be 'Book 1, Page 1' in music lessons but this is the scale that most of popular music throughout the century has been based off of. Contained within it is the major pentatonic and minor pentatonic scales, the relative minor scale, all 7 diatonic modes, we even derive most of our harmony (and it's extensions) from the triads created inside this scale - It is the building blocks of modern music!

Major Pentatonic, it’s a sound we’ve all heard many times throughout our lives. It’s the happy counterpart to the Minor Pentatonic scale. A diverse range of bands from the Eagles to Van Halen have used this scale to craft unforgettable melodic solos. The problem is, major Pentatonic can’t be played the same way the Minor Pentatonic can. Our stock minor riffs just won’t work in major pentatonic because they don’t resolve in the same way. That’s exactly why I created this course.
